Dear St. Albert Families,

The events currently taking place are having a real impact on all of us - our plans, our families and friends, our day-to-day lives.There are certain moments in our lives when our self-resilience is being tested. That’s when we discover just how much we are capable of and how much inner strength we possess.

The way you face life’s challenges builds you up and ultimately defines you as a person. Our strength comes from past experiences. We can only assume that we have what it takes to overcome obstacles, but we’ll never know for sure until we’re actually facing them. Still, a positive outlook can do wonders when the going gets tough.

I’m sure many of you are feeling overwhelmed with the situation we find ourselves in today. I believe we all have the strength to get through this. Some days we may just need to dig a little deeper. You’ve got this!

“I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.” -- Phillipians 4:13

Coping With Corona

Summer learning loss puts students at a serious disadvantage. This is when skills and knowledge are lost over the summer months, causing students to move backwards instead of progressing.

By spending just minutes a day with Summer Solutions, students get the practice they need to keep moving forward. It was designed to help students return to school after summer break confident in the skills they’ve already learned and ready to master new ones.

Your child worked hard all year. Make sure that progress sticks. Give your child the advantage of Summer Solutions.

Each book is $13.00

House Bill 353 (Transportation Budget) was passed Wednesday, March 18th by the Kentucky House of Representatives. It increases the funding for nonpublic school student busing to $4 million per year. This is due to your advocacy and the leadership of Representative Sal Santoro (Boone County).

Kentucky has a long way to go when it comes to supporting the educational choices of families. We must continue to call on our lawmakers to do more. However, increasing the funding for transportation helps maintain some of the progress made over the years towards supporting families who need options outside of their assigned public school.

The fight is not over. The Kentucky Senate will need to maintain the funding in its version of the budget. Please take a moment to contact your Representative and Senator at 1-800-372-7181 or click the link below. Ask that they fight to ensure that this increase is kept in the budget.

It’s time to stop worrying about money! The nine-lesson Financial Peace University (FPU) course is the proven plan to help you keep a budget, beat debt, and build wealth!
